The powerhouse singers are friends andsupport one another. The “Breakaway” hitmakertold Swift in July 2019 to re-record her songsfollowing the dramasurrounding Scooter Braun purchasing Swift’s music catalog.

“@taylorswift13 just a thought, U should go in & re-record all the songs that U don’t own the masters on exactly how U did them but put brand new art & some kind of incentive so fans will no longer buy the old versions,” she wrote onX (formerly Twitter)at the time.

Clarkson added: “I’d buy all of the new versions just to prove a point 💁🏼‍♀️.” She later revealed shegot the ideafrom her former mother-in-lawReba McEntire.

Swift wound up recording a series of"Taylor’s Version"albums, claiming her masters as her own and adding unreleasedVault Tracksas well.

Clarkson, meanwhile,has considered re-recording her own music— but with different goals in mind. “I don’t really want to re-record to own it. Some things I do want to kind of re-record because I think I’m better with age, vocally,” she told PEOPLE in November 2023.

One example she mentioned was the 2003 song “Miss Independent.” “It’s just, young Kelly is so fresh, right? And it’s not good. It’s green.”
